Clinton, McCain emerge as comeback winners in New Hampshire primary

WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Clinton pulled off an unexpected narrow victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday, dramatically rescuing her bid for the White House in a tense battle with Barack Obama.
Clinton, who's fighting to become the first woman in the Oval Office, mounted a surprisingly strong showing after bracing for a second defeat following her devastating third-place showing in Iowa.

Republican John McCain also nabbed a major comeback victory, putting him solidly back in his party's nomination race.
While Obama, vying to make history as the first black U.S. president, scored big among independents and voters between 18 and 24, Clinton attracted lower-income voters and seniors and did best among voters citing the economy as their top concern.
But a big factor for Clinton was women voters, who had gone over to Obama in large numbers in Iowa. Nearly half in New Hampshire were once again supporting her, while Obama got only a third.

I'm pretty far right on most issues, but I prefer a bit more of a nationalist/isolationalist policy on foreign affairs. We need to take care of our own economy before we are dropping millions/billions of dollars on foreign aide and into the middle east countries (so that they'll stop fighting)...

I agree we do need to clean up our messes, but really think we need to start backing out of some of these financial sinkholes. At least until we get our own backyard cleaned up.

Not in this case...no sarcasm. Just very disturbed by our economy, and extremely concerned about some of the "promises" Mr Obama has been making.

How do you suggest we fix our economic situation? Should we cut taxes?
.

First of all as for foreign aid, through the UN ODA we gave $27,457,000,000 in 2005 to developing countries. I'm not against helping other countries, but right now we could really use that money or most of it at home.

As for taxes, I don't think we need to further cut them, however I don't think we need to be raising them back up in 2010. Also creating more incentive for lifetime learning credits and education grants would help the future of our economy. I'm not against spending, just the wasteful spending that goes on.
